“He calls on members of the National Transitional Council (CNT) to mobilize around the urgent election of a new transitional executive, as agreed at the extraordinary summit of Heads of States of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) yesterday, 10 January 2014, in N'djamena, Chad.” Armed attacks between ex-Séléka and Christian anti-balaka militias have escalated significantly in the past two weeks, despite the creation of a transitional government following the attack a year ago by mostly Muslim Séléka rebels which forced President François Bozizé to flee.

Since then, thousands of people are estimated to have been killed, nearly 1 million driven from their homes, and 2.2 million, about half the population, need humanitarian aid.

Delivering a message on behalf of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to the ECCAS Summit on Thursday, Mr. Gaye stressed that the past year's events have profoundly damaged the relationship between Muslim and Christian communities in the CAR, and warned that there is a real danger of further upheaval along religious lines.

“The horrific cycle of violence and retaliation between communities must stop immediately,” he said. “Distrust is high and violence has fuelled anger and a thirst for revenge,” he added, highlighting the need to prioritize reconciliation efforts. Disarmament of combatants in accordance with international standards is essential, Mr. Ban stressed, noting also the importance of demobilization and reintegration of the former fighters.

Today, Mr. Gaye called on the people and the leaders of the CAR to maintain calm and show maturity following the leaders' resignations. “Along with the InternationalSupportMission to the Central African Republic (MISCA), French forces, SANGARIS, have made important progress in securing Bangui,” he said, adding that their efforts must be supported, especially as numerous threats persist.

“The entire UN System and our humanitarian partners are fully mobilized to assist approximately two million people who are in urgent need of assistance across the country,” he said.

To that end, yesterday, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) issued an appeal for $40.2 million for CAR. That request, which is for the period to the end of March, follows appeals launched by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in late December for $152.2 million in immediate support needs for a 100-day plan for CAR.

UNHCR's supplementary appeal for CAR aims to support more than 1 million people, including 86,400 refugees in neighbouring countries and 958,000 internally displaced persons.

Since most of the territory is located in the Ubangi and Shari river basins, France called the colony it carved out in this region Ubangi-Chari, or Oubangui-Chari in French. It became a semi-autonomous territory of the French Community in 1958 and then an independent nation on 13 August 1960. For over three decades after independence, the CAR was ruled by presidents who either were not freely elected or took power by force. Local discontent with this system was eventually reinforced by international pressure, following the end of the Cold War.

UN Home Security: a COMMERCIAL PARODY from UCB Comedy

Today http://www.goandseetv.com is going to show you the United Nations Headquarters in New York City! Another world-famous New York City icon that brings the world to New York City.
Along with Fifth Avenue and Grand Central Terminal/Station, the UN Headquarters is a definite must-see in Midtown on your New York City trip. It is a short 10 minute walk from Grand Central Station to the UN Headquarters.
The UN Headquarters is located on the East River, along First Avenue, between 42nd Street up to 48th Street. Construction of the UN Headquarters complex was begun in 1948 and was completed in 1952.
The UN Headquarters complex consists of four main buildings, the General Assembly Building, the Secretariat, the Conference Center, and the Dag Hammerskjold Library. There are also ancillary buildings outside the UN Headquarters complex that house UN institutions, such as United Nations Plaza.
Inside the UN Headquarters complex, you will see various artwork and installations, such as the "Knotted Gun." And no visit to the UN Headquarters would be complete without an official tour of the headquarters (see http://visit.un.org/wcm/content/ for information on visiting the UN Headquarters). On the tour you'll see one of the most important bodies at the UN, the Security Council. You'll also see the General Assembly. While it may not have the powers of the Security Council, it is just as well known, the UN General Assembly is also an impressive space. Each UN nation member has an equal vote in the General Assembly and issues that affect all nations are often discussed there.
During the UN Headquarters tour you'll also learn a lot about the de-mining, education, health, and humanitarian work that the United Nations engages in around the world through its affiliated organizations like the World Health Organization and United Nations Human Rights Council. Touring the UN is a great way for anyone, especially young people, to learn about the interconnected nature of our world and how we can positively shape our global future.
We hope you have an opportunity to visit the United Nations, one of the most important multi-lateral organizations in the world. It's an institution that makes New York City a cross-roads of the world and brings the world to New York City to encourage cooperation and friendship among all nations. Be sure to go and see it for yourself on your trip to New York City!
Please visit us at http://www.goandseetv.com for more information and videos on New York City!!
